How are the blades forged to get opposing pamors.

Hello Albert,
The vast majority of keris blades exhibits a 3-layered construction with a central steel layer for holding an edge enclosed by two sheets of pamor. Thus, the pamor can be chosen for each side. Regards, Kai |

Thanks Kai.
I suppose the same technique is applied to Moro Kris’ with opposing patterns. |

Yes, I believe so (never studied such an example). Except for a few (and usually more recent) Moro kris with blades made from a single billet of imported steel, all others that I've seen followed the traditional 3-layered construction.
Regards, Kai |
